   Don’t bother,. Misidentification, plant description in Chinese, long loading time… app deleted…

2. ★★★★★results in Chinese

   Not in English. When I first purchased this app I got a lot of use out of it but now the results are no longer in English even when it sends me to Google! Can use what I can’t read!

3. ★★★★★results in Chinese

   Horrible, frustrating. Open app, watch ad to open, take a picture, watch ad to submit picture, wait for ‘skip ad’, click ‘skip ad’, lose picture, retake picture, rewatch ad, wait for ‘skip ad’, click ‘skip ad’, lose picture again, retake picture, rewatch ad for 3rd or 4th time, submit picture, watch ad, wait for ‘skip ad’, ad finishes and foreign language prompts appear onscreen telling me to do….well, I have no idea honestly, but I’m not about to start clicking random links that I can’t even read. Extremely frustrating app.

4. ★★★★★ads disrupting workflow

   Crippling adware. 5 seconds of ads when you open, 5 seconds when you use it, laid on top of another ad. Don't bother even downloading

5. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

   Fails too often. Can’t identify a majority of the plants in my yard and house. On repeat, changed the results.

6. ★★★★★ads disrupting workflow

   Terrible. Ads pop up on every search and are hard to exit. Not much info given.

7. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

   Useless. Even though all of my trees differ vastly in appearance, this app identifies them all as “event timed out” species. strange huh?

8. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

   Failed to identify dames rocket.. Not very confident in the app’s accuracy

9. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

   Not accurate. Can take three pictures of the same plant and get three different answers. Save your money

10. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Horrible. It doesn’t even take photos of the plants. I line everything up, get the plant in the middle of the little square abs take the photo. However the app NEVER captures the plant. It always takes a photos of the side of the pot or something else. It’s very strange.

11. ★★★★★results in Chinese

    Name of a tree. I need to know if this is a water oak in English not Chinese

12. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Time waster. I tested this app on 5 common plants and trees I knew. It got all 5 wrong.

13. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Wrong identification. Identified one tree as a Japanese actress!! Most often is incorrect except for the most common of plants. I would never pay for this.

14. ★★★★★other

    Not the right plant. This plant has long strap leaves that die back in late spring then tall bloom comes up in late summer its pink

15. ★★★★★ads disrupting workflow

    Not accurate! Don’t even bother.. I can not trust this app to correctly identify. It said my succulent was a triceratops, might be funny for the programmer but irritating that I wasted my time and space downloading this useless app. My orchid cactus is not a dragonfruit either. Almost every plant I have tried to identify is coming up as something else.

16. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Mushroom. App did not identify as a mushroom but as a herb

17. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Tree. You can’t tell me what it is

18. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Gives me a fashion model for a picture of a tree. Ummm, why does this app keep bringing up a fashion model human being instead of the tree that I’m clearly taking a picture of? It used to work. Perhaps it needs some fixes

19. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    User. Text is overlapped can’t read anything on the app!!!!!

20. ★★★★★results in Chinese

    Wrong language. Well, usually this app works really well. However the last picture I uploaded received information in Chinese characters. Not helpful since I’m in English speaker

21. ★★★★★results in Chinese

    Asian app. My results are always Asian plants. I live in the United States Midwest

22. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Not worth it. Don’t even bother with this app. I went to a botanical garden with it. Took a picture of a tree there and the result the app gave me was “a tree.” Thanks so much but I already knew that!

23. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Not accurate. Last two plants I id’d were wrong

24. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Please just don’t bother.. I had studied horticulture for four years. I majored in greenhouse management and landscape design. I know my plants. I used this to help with the identification of plants given to me and for those I’d find on hiking trails here in Pennsylvania. It’s absolute trash. Was given what I thought to be a type of orchid by a friend, used this to help with identification since the leaves were dry and browning and it had no blooms. Told me it was a “common houseplant”. Um...what? Turned out to be Nepenthes alata or a type of pitcher plant. After multiple attempts using this with my own plants that I already know the names of it was just as worse. This is just completely unreliable.

25. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    My review. Not very accurate with my pictures.

26. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Doesn’t work. The first time I used this app it worked great. Since then it’s either been wrong or doesn’t give an answer.

27. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Disappointing. It’s disappointing to get return results that give a general group of plants , rather than the specific plant you are trying to identify

28. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Questionable database. I’ve used this app twice and both times the plant ID was inaccurate. Identified Cleome as a crocus the first time and a lily the second time. When I tried to ID a green vine, it said it was a ‘tree’. Not having much success with the app.

29. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Not good!. Tried it on 6 different plants and was wrong on all of them

30. ★★★★★inaccurate identification

    Swing, and a miss. Decided to try this out. So, it identified my succulent - as a car. Then I tried my Columbine. It told me, it’s a flower. No kidding?! App is a joke.
